Local Food Events Calendar

So one of the already existing spin-offs from the Local Food Summit is a Data Working Group focused on making data/information for our local food system more readily available and shareable. To that end they have already created a Local Food Events Calendar which is available currently at WashtenawLocalFood.net. While it is somewhat a beta version the calendar is completely live and functional, so please add events for the Washtenaw County vicinity.

Updated: I updated the links here to reflect the new home for the calendar under the Local Food Portal.

Local Food Summit

So I've been away for a little bit because I was working hard to organize, plan and in general make sure the Local Food Summit 2009 for the Washtenaw County vicinity occurred.... which it did!!! Great experience with lots of energy and ideas flowing. Thanks so much to all who attended (I meant to blog about it here prior but registration filled up before I had a chance to). Anyway, as a community let's keep the energy moving forward. I'll have more posts on that topic.
